The school produces a weekly newsletter (usually on a Thursday) which aims to keep parents up to date with current and forthcoming events. This is emailed to all parents who have provided us with an email address and paper copies are sent home to others via the youngest child.
For last minute changes to events, cancellation of clubs, delay in trips etc. then a text message will be sent to the prime carer for each child.
It is therefore important that you keep the school informed of any changes to contact details.

The Ofsted site, Parent View, gives you the chance to tell us what you think about your child’s school.
Parent View asks for your opinion on 12 aspects of your child’s school, from the quality of teaching, to dealing with bullying and poor behaviour. They will use the information you provide when making decisions about which schools to inspect, and when.
By sharing your views, you’ll be helping your child’s school to improve. You will also be able to see what other parents have said about your child's school. Or, if you want to, view the results for any school in England.
